Dundee v Dundee Utd: mid-table neighbours separated by two points | OneFootball

Dundee host Dundee Utd in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, 15 March 2026 at Dens Park, with two points between the sides and derby bragging rights at stake.

Dundee and Dundee Utd start seventh and eighth respectively, and each has already won away in this fixture this season: Dundee Utd 2-0 at Dens Park in August, Dundee 1-0 at Tannadice in January.

The hosts arrive unbeaten in three league games, having beaten Motherwell and won at Aberdeen either side of a draw with Hibernian. The Arabs have one league win in four, overcoming St Mirren but losing at Motherwell, with draws against Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.

The season numbers point to contrasting approaches. Dundee have scored 29 and conceded 46, with 42% possession and 76.85% pass accuracy. United have 36 for and 46 against, see 41% of the ball and complete 68.96% of passes, but they attempt more shots overall, 271 to 203, and deliver crosses with greater accuracy, 24.34% to 16.46%, an avenue they could look to exploit.

The key threats are clear. For Dundee, Cameron Congreve tops the Premiership assists chart with seven, while Simon Murray has five league goals. For The Arabs, Amar Fatah and Zachary Sapsford have six league goals apiece, with Ivan Dolcek on five.

With just two points between them in seventh and eighth, a win for either United or Dundee could shake up the order around mid-table and nudge the loser closer to the pack below.
